Washington, D.C. proper has scarce, pricey stations; Exxon, Shell, BP and Sunoco; so most drivers fill in Maryland or Virginia along the Beltway (I-495), where Costco, Wawa and Sheetz compete hard. EIA weekly data covers the market. EV charging is strong across the region's garages and retail hubs.
Local tips
- Cross into Virginia (lower gas tax) for meaningfully cheaper fills.
- Wawa, Sheetz and Costco along the Beltway beat District stations easily.
- District stations cluster on New York Ave NE — one of few in-city corridors.
